Got our first real snow of the season this weekend. I wasn't ready. The snow blower was still in the basement and I didn't have any pre-mix for it but with ten inches of snow on the driveway and sidewalks I had to do something.
I drug the blower upstairs and to the garage and found the empty fuel container then looked at the one I use for my MB. "What the heck?" I said and filled up the snow blower's tank, fired it up and headed for the outdoors.
Two of my neighbors who were also shoveling or blowing snow came over and asked what the "weird smell" was.
I run a standard gas/oil mix with a twenty percent castor oil blend. That smell is so distinctive and it brings back memories of my dad and I racing go carts back in the 60s. My neighbors, however, didn't have the same appreciation for the odor. Too bad. Wish dad could have been there. He would have liked it.
